About PDF scans

  • Keep in mind that the quality of your scan is impacted by the quality of the original item.

  • If you want to be able to convert scanned text into data you can edit, use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) dialog box.

  • To scan a text document, or black and white document, set the Scan Mode to Black and White or Grayscale.

  • It's best to limit the number of pages in a PDF file to 20 or less when scanning a color document with Image Quality set to 300 dpi and Letter size.
